Abstract: Upper bounds on Newton’s, Poisson’s, and energetic coefficients of normal restitution for the frictional impact of rigid pendulum against a fixed surface are derived, demonstrating that the upper ...

Abstract: Precise estimates of the elastic stress intensity factors for the Griffith and edge cracks are made by using one convenient representation of the J-integral and asymptotic crack-tip fields, ...

Abstract: It is well known that the Voigt and Reuss estimates of the effective shear modulus of a polycrystalline aggregate of cubic crystals are, respectively, the upper and lower bounds for this ...

Abstract: A stress distribution in elliptical inclusions with sliding interface and uniform shear eigenstrain is analyzed. The existence of a nonvanishing stress in nearly circular inclusions is demonstrated, ...

Abstract: The plastic part of an elastic-plastic deformation is that remaining when the stress, and hence the elastic strain, is reduced to zero. Elastic deformation is that produced in this purely ...

Abstract: The role of plastic spin within the framework ofa phenomenological polycrystalline plasticity is examined. We show that if elastic and plastic strain rates are properly identified, partitioning ...
